This is my own family version of Pictures at an Exhibition.

They are original compositions inspired by the photographic record left by my relatives.

Twiss Porch c. 1905

This one features my grandfather on the far right with the long hair. Pictured with his two brothers, sister, and parents

My mother and her little brother c. 1930

My mother at the beach with her little brother. He died not long after this photo. I recall a picture of him in the casket in the home, as was common then. She spoke of it occasionally and mourned that loss all her life.

My parents as children c. 1927

Donald Twiss and Joanne Foote in Adrian. They dated as teens and married after the war.

Grandparents Arthur and Venah c. 1919

A photo I found long after their death. It is a glimpse of them as young twitterpatted lovers. I guess I never often thought of them as people with passion, dreams, and enduring immense struggles.
